FemtoConf 2019 (Germany)
Posts from my trip to Germany for FemtoConf 2019, where I presented. FemtoConf was held May 3-5, 2019 in Darmstadt, Germany (near Frankfurt). Before the conference, on May 2, Release Notes organized a “tailgating” pre-event with about 15 other FemtoConf attendees in Bacharach, Germany.
Drinks with a riverside view in St. Goar. (And more castles!) (Sankt Goar, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)

Look how steep the walls of the Rhine river valley are near Bacharach. How the heck do they harvest grapes from the vineyards on these hills?! (Bacharach, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)

The best thing about the Rhine valley is that castles are sprinkled about everywhere. No matter where you look, there’s another one! (Bingerbrück, Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany)

I seem to have stumbled upon the party car of this train. Lots of drinks being consumed. I’m not entirely sure what the occasion is, but I think it’s a bachelorette party / hen party. The woman in the dirndl with the wreath of flowers on her head seems to be the guest of honor.
